ClampsGaskets
Accurate design & proper
materials: For a strong, leak-tight connection
Often overlooked and neglected...
- ...but few knows that clamps and gaskets are often the root cause of premature failures in the system.
- Clamps of poor quality will fail to provide a strong, even pressure around the pipe joints.This lead not only to leakage and noise, but also the risk of fake air in the system, disturbingthe functionality of emission technology.
- ECO clamps and gaskets are produced to precise tolerances and clearly marked withrecommended torque specifications. Our gaskets are designed to handle materialvariations and temperature fluctuations, providing a leaktight connection for years.
Technical Insights: What's the difference between ID/OD and V-clamps?
ID/OD clamp connections: For pre-Euro III
Before the more strict emission standards, leakage requirements were minimal as emissions were already compliant from the engine, so clamping solutions were simple: One end expanded and slitted (ID-end), the other left untouched (OD-end). The clamp’s only function was to "squeeze" the ID-end around the OD-end, creating a strong but often non-dismantlable connection.
V-Clamps: Preferred for Euro IV - VI
With the introduction of Euro IV, V and VI, preventing leakage before the exhaustgas reaches catalysts and filters became a topic. The most common solution is theV-clamp. One end is designed with a flare, the other with a bulge. Each with asealing surface matching the counter-part. With a gasket in between, the V-clamppushes the flare and the bulge towards each other as it is tightened, with no mechanical damage following
